In order to obtain and keep a commercial driver’s license, the Department of Transportation requires every CDL driver to receive a DOT physical every two years. These physicals must be conducted by an approved medical examiner at an approved DOT medical examiner location.
Finding an Approved Location
In order to find an approved DOT medical examiner location, drivers and carriers can visit the U.S. Department of Transportation’s online National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners and search examiners by location.
The website allows you to search by City and State, or Zip Code, and once you input your location information you can narrow your search results by entering the examiner’s name, registry ID number, business name, and more.
This tool makes it easy for carriers and drivers to find approved DOT medical examiner locations throughout the United States.
